So our state’s Department of Environmental Protection confirmed that Central Maine Power, in fact, did clear-cut a scar nearly twice as wide as they claimed. In CMP’s fury to rip through Maine’s western forest for Hydro-Quebec’s extension cord to Massachusetts, CMP ignored the 54-foot-wide limit across Segment 1, the only non-industrialized segment of the project. CMP knowingly lied and cut nearly double the width. Sadly, our oversight agencies and governor have failed the Maine public in their responsibilities and allegiance. Fortunately, in November, Mainers have the ability to prevent this deceitful scam and miles of 100-foot-high rusting poles scarring the landscape. This November, vote yes on Question 1 to stop the CMP Corridor. ~ John Cote, Farmingdale
